Chk  isr'hatb  made  ui  frecy''  that,  in  his  worihip,  diiierer 
fsrms  and  ujag:z  may  without  offence  be  allowed,  provided  th 
fubfiance  of  the  faith  be  kept  entire  j  and  that,  in  every  Chiircl 
what  cannot  be  clearly  determined  to  belong  to  doSirlne  mufl  I 
referred  to  difciplint'^  and  therefore,  Uy  common confent  and  authc

The  Church  of  Ens  lakd,  to  which  theProteftantr.p»rcop 
Church  in  thefe  States  is  indebted,  under  GOD,  for  heV  lii 
foundation  and  a  long  continuance  of  nurfingc^re  and  prote£tioi

It  is  but  reafonable  that,  upon  weighty  and  important  confiderj 
tions,  according  to  the  various  exigencies  of  times  and  occ^on 
fuch  changes  and  alterations  fliould  be  made  therein,  as  to  tho

In  her  y^rrij/^i  and  tlomUksy  declared  the  neccffity  and  expedient

Tke    PREFACE. 

lAterafiOAfl  in  fome  particulars,  at  in  their  refpe^^Ive  tiAaes  were 
t)|oaght  convenient :  Yet  fo  as  the  main  body  and  efTential  part» 
q£  the  fa"!nc  (as  well  in  the  chiefcft  materials,  as  in  the  frame  PJid 
#rder  thereof)  have  itili  been  continoed  firm  a^d  unlhaken.'* 

**  Hct  general  ami  in  thefe  dlfTcrent  rnrk^ws  and  afteratknt 
lltthbeen,"  as  fhe  further  declares  in  her  faid  Preface,  **  to  do  thaC 
which,  according  to  her  bcft  undcrftanding,  might  moil  tend  to  the 
|»refervacion  of  peace^and  urity  in  the  Church  j  the  procuring  of  re- 
verence, and  the  exciting  of  piety  and  aevotion  in  the  worlhipof 
Cod  J  and,  finally,  tlic  c utting  off  occaiion,  from  them  that  fcekoc* 
eafion,  of  cavil  or  quarrel  againft  her  Liturgy.*'  And  although^ 
■according  to  her  judgment,  there  be  not  **  any  thing  in  it  contrary 
to  the  Word  of  God,  or  to  found  d3<^ine,  or  which  a  godly  maa 
may  not  with  a  good  confcience  ufe  and  fubmit  unto,  or  which  is 
not  fairly  defenfihle,  if  alh^wed  fsch  juft  and  favourable  con- 
ilruAion,  as,  in  common  equity,  ought  to  be  allowed  to  all  hu- 
man writings  ,"  yet  upon  the  principles  already  laid  down,  it  can- 
not but  be  fuppofed,  that  further  alteration  would  in  time  be 
louPid  expedient.  Accordingly,  a  Conimifiion  for  a  review  wa3 
ifiued  in  the  year  16S9  :  But  this  great  and  good  work  mifcarrici 
flt  that  tim^-5  and  the  Civil  Authority  has  not  fmce  thought  pro- 
|«r  to  revive  it  by  any  fiew  CommiiTion. 

But  when,  lo  the  courfe  of  Divine  Providence,  thefe  Arifterjcaa 
States  htzzmc  independent  with  refpe£t  to  Civil  Government,  their 
£.cclefiafikal  Independence  was  neceifarily  included  ^  and  the  diffe- 
rent religious  denominations  of  Chriftians  in  thefe  States  were  lefc 
at  full  and  equal  liberty  to  model  and  organize  their  refpeftive 
churches  and  forms  of  worfhip  and  difcipline,  in  fuch  manner  at 
they  might  judge  moll^  convenient  for  their  future  profperity  5  con- 
fiftently  with  the  Conffitution  and  Laws  of  their  Country, 

The  attention  of  this  Church  was,  in  the  firft  place,  drawn 
to  thofe  alterations  in  the  Liturgy  which  became  neceflary  in  the 
Prayen  for  our  Civil  Rulers,  in  confequence  of  the  Revolution. 
And  the  principal  care  herein  was  to  make  them  conformable  to 
what  ought  to  be  the  proper  end  of  all  fuch  prayers,  namely,  that 
**  Rulers  naay  have  grace,  wifdom,  and  underftanding  to  execute 
jufticc,  and  to  maintain  truth  j  and  chat  the  People  may  lead  quiet 
and  peaceable  live«,  \%  all  godliaefs  and  honelly.'* 

t  4  ]B«t 


The     P  R  E  F  A  C  E. 

But  while  thefe  alterations  were  in  review  before  the  Con- 
tention, they  could  not  but,  with  gratitude  to  God,  embrace 
the  .happy  occ alien,  wbich^wa^  offered  to  them  (uninfiuenced  and 
unreftrained  by  any  woridly  authority  whapfocver)  to. take  a  fur« 
ther  review  of  the  Public  Ser'vicey  and  to  eitablifh  fuch  other  alte- 
rations and  amendments,  tlierein  as  might  be  deemed  expedient*  ■ 

It  feems  unnecgfiary  to  enumerate  all  the  different  alterations, 
and  amendments.  They  will  appear,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped,  the 
reafons  of  them  alfo,  upon  a  comparifon  of  this  with  the  Book  of 
Common  Prayer  of  the  Church  of  England.  In  which  it  will  alfo 
appear,  that  this  Church  is  far  from  intending  to  depart  from  the 
Church  of  Eagiand  in  any  ellential  point  of  doctrine,  difcipline, 
VV  worliiip  j  or  farther  than  local  clrcumltanccs  require. 

And  now,  this  important  work  being  brought  to  a  conclufion, 
St  is  hoped  the  whole  will  be  received  and  examined  by  every  truc^ 
JVlembtif  of  our  Church,  and  every  fincere  Chriftian,  vyith  a  meek, 
cand'.a,  and  charitable  frame  of  mind  j  without  prejudice  or  pre- 
pofle/Tions  ^  ferioufiy  conGdering  what  Chriftianity  is,  and  what  the, 
trutiis  01  the  Gofpei  are  ,  and  earneilly  befeechirig  Almighty  God,  ' 
to  accompany  with  his  bleliing  every  endeavour  for  promulgating  ■ 
them  to  mankind  in  the  cleareft,  plaineil;,  moft  afTeci:in,g  and  ma^^

OGod,  who  knc7»'eft  "as  to 
be  fet  in  the  midft  of  ^<:> 
many  and  great  dangers,  that 
by  reatbn  of  the  frailty  of  our 
nature  we  -cannot  always  ftand 
upright  j  grant  to  us  fuch 
ftrength  and  protection,  as  may 
/uppcrt  us  in  ail  dangers,  and 
carry  us  thr(»ugh  aii  tempta- 
tions, through  Jefus  Chriit  our 
L«rdr     Ar^n*  * 


LEt  every  foul  be  fubie£l 
unto  the  higher  powers; 
for  there  is  no  power  but  of 
God  :  the  powers  that  be,  are 
ordained  of  God.  Whofoever^. 
therefore,  refifteth  the  power, 
relifteth  the  ordinance  of  God: 
and  they  that  refift,  Ihall  receive 
to  themfeives  damnation.  For 
rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  good 
W'Orks,  hiit  to  the  evil.  Wilt 
thou  then  Hot  be  afraid  of  the 
power  ?  do  that  which  is  good, 
and  thou  ftialt  have  praife  of 
the  fame  :  for  he  is  the  minifter 
of  God  to  thee  for  good.  But 
if  thou  do  that  which  is  evil, 
be  afraid  ,*  for  he  beareth  not 
the  fword  in  vain  :  for  he  is  the 
minifter  of  God,  a  revenger  to 
execute  wrath  upon  him  that 
doeth  evil.  Wherefore  ye  m.uft 
needs  be  fubjeft,  not  only  for 
wrath^  but  alfo  for  confcicnce 
fake.  For,  for  this  caufe  pay  ye 
tribute  alfo  j  for  they  are  God's 
Mlnifters,  attending  continually 
upon  tills  very  thing.  Render, 
therefore,  to  all  their  dues ;  tri- 
bute to  whom  tribute  )s  due,  cu-

whom  fear,  honour  to  whom 
honour.

for  thefe  are  the  two  covenants  j

WHo  is  this  that  cometh 
from  Edom,  with  dyed 
garments  from  Bozrah  ?  this 
that  is  glorious  in  his  apparel, 
travelling  in  the  greatnefs  of  his 
ikengtli  ?  i  that  fpeak  in  righte- 
oafnefs,  mighty  to  lave.  Where- 
fore art  thou  red  in  thine  appareJ, 
and  thy  garments  like  him  that 
treadeth  in  the  wine-fat  ?  I  have 
trodden  the- wine-prefs  alone,  and 
of  tlie  people  there  was  none  with 
me  :  for  f  wiU  tread  them  in 
min2  anger,  and  trample  them  m 
my  fury,  and  their  blood  (hall  be 
Ipdnkled  upon  ray  garments, 
and  I  will  ftain  all  my  raiment. 
For  the  day  of  vengeance  is  in 
mine  hearty  and  th^  year  of  my 
redeemed  is  come.  And  I  looked, 
and  there  was  n^ne  to  help  j  a^d 
i  wondered  that  there  was  none 
to  uphold  :  therefore  mine  own 
arm  brought  falvation  unto  me  j 
and  my  fury  iu  upheldme.  And 
i  will  tread  down  tiie  people  in 
mine  a^^er,  and  make  them 
drunk  in  my  fury,  and  I  wiU 
bring  down  their  ftrength  to  the

And  the  chief  prielts,  and  all

and  found  none.  (For  Tnarry

but  their  witnefs  agreed  not  to-

End  within  three  days  I  will  build

But  neither  fo  did  their  vvitnefs

thefe  witnefs  agarnft  thee  ?  But 
he  held  his  peace,  and  anfv.ered 
nothing.  Again  the  high  prief! 
afked  him,  and-faid  unto  him, 
Art  thou  the  Chrift,  the  Son 
of  the  Blefied  ?  And  Jefus 
faid,  I  am  :  and  yz  fhall  fee  the 
Son  of  man  fitting  on  the  right

"faith,  What  need  we  any  further

they  all  condemned  him  to  be 
guilty  of  death.  And  feme  be-

to  fay  unto  hira,  Prophefy.  And 
the  fervants  did  ftrike  him  with 
the  palms  of  their  hands.  And

ANdftraightway  in  the  morn- 
ing, the  Aief  priefts  held 
a  confultation  with' the  elders 
and  fcribes,  and  the  whole 
council,  and  bound  jefus,  and 
carried  him  away,  and  delivered 
him  to  Piiatc.  And  Pilate  afked 
him,  Art  thou  the  King  of  the 
Jews  ?  And  he  anTwering,  fsid 
unto  him,  Thou  fayeft  it.  And 
the  chief  priefts  accufed  him  of 
many  things  t  but  he  anfwered 
nothing.  A«d  Pilate  afked  him 
again,  faying,  Anfwereft  thou 
nothing  ?  behold  how  many 
things  they  witncfs  againft  thee. 
But  Jcfus  yet  anfwered  nothing  : 
fo  that  FUate  marvelled.  Now 
•t  t|;iat  teaft  he  rcieafed  unto 
them  one  prifoner,  whomfoever 
they  defired.  And  tli^re  was 
one  named  Barabhas,  which  lay 
bound  with  them  that  had  made 
infurrcdion  with  him,  who  had 
co»»iued  murdci*  in  tns  iarur- 


re<5lion.  And  the  multi  hi  decry- 
ing aloud,  began  to  defire  him 
to  do  as  he  had  ever  done  «nto 
them.  But  Pilate  anlwered  them, 
faying,  Will  ye  that  1  releafe 
anto  you  tiie  King  of  the  Jews  ? 
(Frn-  he  knew  that  t^e  chief 
priefts  had  delivered  him  for 
envy. )But  the  chi'ef priefts  moved 
the  people,  that  he  ftould  rather 
releafe  Barabbas  unto  them. 
And  Pilate  anlSvered,  and  faid 
again  unto  them.  What  will  yc 
then  that  I  ^all  do  unto  him 
whom  ye  call  the  King  of  th6 
J  ew5  ?  And  they  cried  o\it  again. 
Cruelty  him.  Then  Pilate  faid 
onto  them,  Why,  what  evil  hath 
he  done  ?  And  they  cried  out  the 
more  exceedingly,  Crucify  him. 
And  fo  Pilate,  willing  to  content 
the  people,  releafed  Barahba^ 
untolhem  3  and  delivered  Jefus, 
v/hen  he  had  icourged  him,  to 
be  crucified.  And  the  foldiers 
led  him  away  into  the  hall,  c^^l- 
led  Pretorium  ;  and  they  called

And  when  they  had  crucified  him, 
they  parted  his  garments,  cafling

they  faid.  Lord,  behold,  here

unto  them,  it  is  enough.  And 
he  came  out,  and  went,  as  he 
was  wont,  to  the  m<)unt  of 
Olives  ^  and  his  difciples  alfo 
<'oUowed  him.  And  when  i.e 
was  at  the. place,  he  faid  unto 
them.  Pray  that  ye  enter  not 
into  temptation.  And  he  wai 
withdrawn  from  them  about  a 
fton«'s  caft,  and  kneeled  down, 
and  prayed,  faying,  Father,  if 
thou  be  willing,  remove  tiiis  cup

will,  but  thine  be  done.  And 
there  appeared  an  angei  unto, 
him  from  heaven,  itrengthehing

he  prayeJmbre  earneftiy  i  and

drops  of  blood  falling  down  tc

the  fword  ?  And  one  of  them 
fmote  the  fervant  of  the  high

And  Jefus  anfweied  and  faid, 
Su/J"er  ye  thus  far.  And  he 
touched  his  ear,  and  healed  him. 
Then  Jefus  faid  unto  tlie  chief 
'f  riefts  and  captains  of  the  tem- 
ple, and  the  eiders  which  were 
come  to  him,  Be  ye  come  out  as

you  in  the  temple,  ye  ilretched 
forth  no  hands  againft  me  :  but 
this  is  your  hour,  and  the  power 
of  darknefs.  Then  took  they 
him,  and  led  him,  and  brought 
him  into  the  high  prieft's  houfe. 
And  Peter  folk)W(5d  afar  off. 
And  when  they  had  kindled  a 
fire  in  the  midii  of  the  hall,  and 
were  fet  down  together,  Peter 
fat  down  among  them.  But  a 
certain  maid  bel-veld  him,  as  he 
fat  by  the  fire,  and  earneiHy 
.  looked  upon  him,  and  faid,  This 
man  was  alfo  with  him.  And 
he  denied  him,  faying,  Woman, 
1  know  him  not.     And  after  a 


little  while  another  faw  him,  and 
faid,"  Thou  art  alfo  of  them. 
Antit  Peter  faid,  Man,  I  am  not. 
And  about  the  fpace  of  one  hour 
after,  another  confidently  af-

fellow  alfo,  was  with  him  j  for

faid,  Man,  1  know  not  what 
thou  faycil:.  And  immediately^ 
while  he  yet  fpake,  the  cock, 
crew.  And  the  Lord  turned,  and 
looked  upon  Peter  ;  and  Peter 
remembereii  the  word  of*  the 
Lord^  how  he  had  fiiid  unto  him. 
Before  the  cock  crow,  thou  fnalt 
deny  mc  thrice.  And  Peter  went 
out  and  wept  bitterly.  And  the 
men  that  held  Jei'us,  mocked 
him,  and  fmote  'him.  And 
when  they  had  blindfolded  him, 
they  ftruck  him  on  the  face,  and 
afked  him,  faying,  Prophefy, 
who  is  it  that  fmote  thee  ?  And 
many  other  things  blafphemoully 
fpake  they  againtl  hjni.  And,  as 
foon  as  it  was  day,  the  eiders  of 
the  people,  and  the  chief  priefts, 
and  the  fcribes  came  together, 
and  led  him  into  the^r  counc:!, 
faying,-  Art  thou  the  Chrili  i* 
Tell  us.  And  he  faid  unto  them. 
If  1  tell  you,  you  will  not  be- 
lieve. And  if  1  alio  aik  you,  you 
will  not  anfwer  me,  nor  let  me

power  of  God.  Then  faid  they  ail. 
Art  ihou  then  the  Son  of  God  ? 
And  he  faid  unto  them,  Yc  fay-

Pilate  therefore  took  Jefus, 
and  fcourged  him.  And  the 
foidiers  platted  a  crown  of  thorns, 
and  put  it  on  his  head,  and  they 
put  on  him  a  purple  robe,  and 
faid,  Hail,  king  of  the  Jews  ! 
And  they  fmote  him  with  their 
hands.  Pilate  therefore  went 
Yorth  again,  and  fkith  unto 
them,  Behold,  I  bring  him  forth 
to  you,  that  ye  may  know  that 
1  find  no  fault  in  h>m.  Then 
came  Jefus  forth,  wearing  the 
€rown  of  thorns,  and  the  purple 
robe.  And  Pilate  faith  unto 
them,  .Behold,  the  man.  When 
the  chief  prielh  therefore  and

Take  ye  him,  and  crucify  hirnj

Jews  anfweisd  him,    VVc  have  a 


law,  and  hy  our  law  he  ought  to 
die,  becaule  he  made  bimfelt  the 
Son  of  God.  When  Pilate  tliere- 
forc  heard  that  frying,  he  was 
the  more  afraid  j  and  went  agiia 
into  the  judgment-hall,  anA 
faith  unto  Jefus,  Whence  art

him,  Speakeft  thou  not  unto 
me  ?  Knoweft  thou  not  that  I 
have  power  to  crucify  thee,  and 
have  power  to  relcafe  thee  ?  Jefus 
anfwered.  Thou  couldert  ha\'^ 
no  power  at  all  againft  me,  ex- 
cept it  were  given  thee  fron^

which  J  heard,  was  as  it  were  of

which  faid^  Come  up  hi  her,

and  he  that  fat  was  to  look  upon 
like  a  jafper  and  a  far  dine  ftone  : 
and  theic  was  a  rainbow  round 
about  the  throne,  infi^htlike 
unto  an  emerald.  And  roujid 
about  the  throne  were  four  and 
twenty  feats  j  and  upon  th-e  fe>its 
I  faw  four  and  twenty  ciders  fit- 
ting, clothed  in  white  raiment  j 
and  they  had  on  their  heads 
crowns  of  gold  :  ahd  out  rj  the 
throne  proceeded  lightnings,  and 
thunderings,  and  voices.  And 
there  were  {it\Gn  lamps  of  iire  , 
burning  before  the  throne,  which  • 
are  the  (^ytn  fpirits  of  God. 
Aiid  before  the  throne,  there 
was  a  fea  of  glafs,  like  unto 
cryilal.  And  in  thcmidftof  the 
throne,  and  round  about  the 
throne,  were  four  beafts  full  of  j 
e)es  before  and  behind:  And  j 
the  iuii  bea£i  was  Ukc  a  Hen,  { 


and  the  fecond  beaft  Tike  a  calf, 
and  the  third  bealt  had  a  face  as 
a  man,  and  the  fourth  beaft  was 
like  a  flying  eagle.  And  the 
four  bealis  had  each  of  them  fix 
wings  about  him  }  and  they  were 
full  of  eyes  withia  :  and  they  red 
not  day  and  nigiit,  faying,  Holy,

And  when  thofe  beafis  give  glo-

him  that  fat  on  the  throne,  who 
liveth  for  ever  and  ever,  the  four

know  that  it  hated  tne  before  it 
hated  you.  If  ye  were  of  the

own  :  but  becaufe  ye  are  not  of

ail  ihcfe  things  will  they  do  unto

that  the  word  might  be  fulfilled 
that  is  written  in  their  law. 
They  hated  me  without  a  cacfe. 
But  when  the  Comforter  is

from  the  Father,  even  the  Spi-

loud  voice,  faying,  Salvation  to 
our  God,  which  fitteth  upon  the

And  all  the  angels  ftood  round 
about  the  throne,  and  about  the 
elders,  and  the  four  beaits,  and 
fell  before  the  throne  on  their

ing. Amen  :  Bleliing,  and  gl'ory. 
And  wifdom,  and  thankfgiving,

D Early  beloved  brethren,  on 
i  intend,  by  God's 

^race,  to  celebrate  the  Lord's 
riupper;  unto  which,  in  Goa's 
b^-half,  I  bid  you  all  who  are 
here  prefent  j  anu  befeech  you 
ijr  the  Lord  J^fu?  Chrift's  fake, 
chat  ye  will  nc:  refuse  to  come 
thereto,  being  fc  lovingly  called 
and  bidden  by  God  himfe'f.  Ye 
kn^w  hfAVv-  grievous  and  unkind 
a  thing  it  is,  when  a  man  hatb 
prepared  a  rich  foaft,  decked  his 
rabie 


table  with  all  kind  of  prbvifion, 
#0  that  there  hcketh  noihing 
but  the  guefts  to  fit  down  j  and 
yet  they  who  are  called  (vvithoui; 
any  caufe)  moft  unthankfully 
refufe  to  come.  Which  of  you 
in  fuch  a  cafe  would  not  be 
moved  ?  Who  would  not  think 
SI  great  injury  and  wrong  done 
unto  hinri  ?  Wherefore,  moft 
dearly  beloved  in  Chrift,  take  ye 
good  heed,  left  ye,  withdrawing 
jourfelves  from  this  holy  Sup- 
per, provoke  God'b  indignation 
againft  you.  It  is  an  eafy  mat- 
ter for  a  man  to  fay,  I  will  not 
communicate,  becaufe  1  am 
otherwife  hindered  with  worldly 
bufinefs.  But  fuch  excufes  are 
not  fo  eafily  accepted,  and  al- 
lowed before  God.  If  any  man 
fay,  I  am  a  grievous  finner,  and 
therefore  am  afraid  to  come  j 
wherefore  then  do  ye  not  repent 
and  amend  ^  When  God  calieth 
you,  are  ye  not  aihamed  to  fay, 
ve  will  not  come  ?  When  ye 
ihould  return  to  God,  will  ye 
excufe  yourfelves,  and  fay,  ye 
are  not  ready  ?  Confider  earneft- 
ly  whh  youifelves,  how  little 
fuch  feigned  excufes  will  avail 
before  God.  I'hey  who  refufcd 
the  feaft  in  the  Gofpei,  becaufe 
they  had  bought  a  farm,  or 
would  try  their  yokes  of  oxen, 
or  becaufe  they  were  married, 
were  not  fo  excufed,  but  count- 
ed unworthy  of  the  heavenly 
feaft.  Vv^herefore,  according  to 
mine  Office,  1  bid  you  in  the 
Name  of  God,  I  cafi  you  in 
Chrift's  behalf,  I  exhort  you,', 
as  ye  love  your  owJi  falvauon,"* 


that  ye  will  be  partakers  of  this 
Holy  Communion.  And  as  the 
Son  of  God  did  vouchfafe  to 
yield  up  his  foul  by  death  upon 
the  crofs,  for  y6ur  falvation  j  fo 
it  is  your  duty  to  receive  the 
Communion,  in  remembrance  of 
the  facrifice  of  his  death,  as  he 
himfelf  hath  commanded  : 
Which  if  ye  fhall  neglc<^  to  do, 
confider  with  yourfelves,  how 
great  is  your  ingratitude  to  God, 
and  how  fore  punifhment  hang- 
eth  over  your  heads  for  the  fam.e, 
when  ye  wilfully  abftain  from 
the  Lord's  Table,  and  feparacc 
from  your  brethen,  who  come 
to  feed  on  the  banquet  of  that 
moft  heavenly  food.  Thefe 
things  if  ye  earneftiy  confider, 
ye  will,  by  God's  grace,  return 
to  a  better  mind  :  for  the  obtain- 
ing wheieof  we  iliall  not  ceafe  to 
make  our  humble  petitions  unto 
Almighty  God,  our  heavenly 
Father.

Ow  is  Chrift  rifen  from

firft  fruits  of  them  that  Hept. 
For  fmce  by  man  csjne  death^ 
by  man  came  aifo  the  refurrec- 
tion  of  the  dead.  For  as  in 
Adam  all  die,  even  fo  in  Chriit 
ihall  ail  be  made  alive.  BuC 
every  man  in  his  own  order  : 
Chrift  the  firft  fruits;  afterward 
they  that  are  Chrift's,  at  his 
coming.  Then  cometh  the  tnd^ 
when  he  (hall  have  delivered  up 
the  kingdom  to  God,  even  tlw 
Father  ;  when  he  fhall  have  put 
down  ail  rule,  and  all  authority^ 
and  power.  For  he  muft  reiga 
till  he  hath  put  all  enemJ.es  un- 
der his  feet.  The  laft  enemy 
that  fhall  be  deftroyed  is  death  : 
f^  he  hath  put  all  things  under 
his  feet.  But  when  he  faith  all 
things  are  put  under  him,  it  is 
manifeft  that  he  is  excepted 
which  did  put  all  things  under 
him.  And  when  all  things  ft.all 
be  fnbdued  unto  him,  then  (hall, 
thel-onalfo  himfeif  be  fubje^b* 
unto  him  that  put  all  things 
under  him,  that  God  may  be  ail 
in  all.  Fife  what  fhall  they  d*^ 
which  are  baprized  for  the  dead, 
if  the  dead  rife  not  at  all  ?   Wlty 


JBuriar    cf -the  D  £  A  d'; 


are  they  tht;n  baptized  tor  the

1  have  fought  with  ^be^ils  at' 
iEphefus,  what  advantageth  it 
me,  if  the  dead  rife  not  r  Jet,  us 
eat  and  drink,  for  to-morrow 
we  die.  Be  not  deceived  :  Evil 
communications  corrupt  good 
manners.  Awake  to  righteguf- 
Befs,  and  (in  not :  for  fom^  have 
not  the  knowledge  of  God.  I 
fpeak  this  to  your  fh;*me.  But 
fome  man  will  fay,  How  are  the 
dead  raifed  up  ?  and  with  what 
body  do  they  come  ?  Thou  fool, 
that  which  thou  fowelt  is  not 
quickened,  except  it  die.  And 
that  which  thou  foweft,  thou 
foweil  not  that  body  that  fhall 
be,  but  bare  grain  j  it  may 
chance  of  wheat,  or  of  fome 
other  grain.  But  Cod  givcth  it 
a  body  as  it  hath  pleafed  him  j 
and  to  every  feed  his  own  body. 
All  lieih  is  not  the  fame  fleih  ; 
but  there  is  one  kind  of  flefli  of 
men,    another   flefh   of    beafts, 


incorruptlon  !  It  is  fxDwn  in  dlf- 
n^noqrj  it  is.raifed  in^glory  :  it 
is  fown  in  weaknefs  ^  it  is  raife4 
in  power  :  it  is  fowji-  a  jiaturai 
body  J  it  is  raifed  a  fpiritual  bo- 
dy. There  is  a  natural  body» 
and  there  is  a  fpiritual  body. 
And  fo  it  is  vyritten.  The  firft 
man  Adam,  was  made  a  living 
ifoul,  the  laft  Adam  was  made  a 
quickening  Spirit.  Howbeit, 
that  vyas  not  firil  which  is  fpiri- 
tual, but  that  which  is  natural  ^ 
and  afterward  that  wliich  is  fpi- 
ritual. The  firft  man  is  of  the 
earth,  earthy  :  The  fecond  man 
is  the  Lord  from  heaven.  As  is 
the  earthy,  fuch  are  they  that  are 
earthy  :  and  ah  is  the  heavenly, 
fuch  are  they  alfo  that  are  hea- 
venly. And  as  we  have  borne 
the  image  of  the  earthy,  we  fliall  _ 
alfo  bear  the  irnage  of  the  hea-  ^ 
veiily.  Now  this  1  fay,  brethren, 
that  flefh  and  blood  cannot  in- 
herit the  kingdom  of  God  ; 
neither  doth  corruptioTi  inherit 
incorruption.  Beliold,  I  fhow 
you  a  myftery  :  We  ihall  not  all 
fleep,  but  we  ihall  all  be  changed, 
iin  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling; 


another   of  iilhes,    and  anothft  i  of  an  eye,  at  the   Init  trump  : 
1  For  the  trumpet  ihall  found,  and 
j  the  dead    fhall  be  raifed   incor- 
j  ruptiblf,  and  we  fhall  be  changed. 
I  For  this  corruptible  mutbput  o» 
I  incorruption,     and    this    mortal 
mnft   put  on   immortality.      So 
when  this  corruptible  ihall-  have 
put   on   incorruption,    and    this 
mortal  Ihail  have  put  on  immor- 
tality, then  jhall  be  brought  to 
pafs   the  faying  that  is  U'ritten, 
Death  it  fv\  allowed  up  in  vidorv 
U 


ot  birds.  There  are  alfo  celef- 
tial  bodies,  and  bodies  terrellri- 
al :  But  the  glory  of  the  celeftial 
is  one,  and  the  glory  of  the  ter- 
refbriai  is  another.  There  is 
one  glory  of  the  fun,  and.  ano- 
ther glory  of  the  moon,  and 
another  glory  of  the  fears  :  For 
one  rtar  differeth  from  .another 
itar  in  glory.  So  alfo  is  the  re-

above  j  and  cometh.  down  from 
the  Father  of  Lights,  with  whom

of  firft  fruits  of  his  creatures. 
Wherefore,  my  beloved  brethren, 
let  every  man  be  fwift  to  hear,

Wherefore  lay  apart  ail  filthi-

the  ingrafted  word,  which  is  able 
to  fave  your  fouls.  Be  ye  doers 
of  the  word  j  and  not  hearers

For  if  any  be  s.  hearer  of  the

But  whofo  looketh  into  the  per-

eth  therein,  he,  being  not  a  for- 
getful hearer,  but  a  doer  of  the

His  lightnings  gave  iliine  unto

The  hills  melted  like  wax  at 
the  pr^fence  of  the  Lord  j  at  the

The  heavens  have  declared

Confounded  be  all  thifey  that

6  It  goeth  forth  from  the  ut« 
termoft  part  ot  the  heaven,  and 
runneth  about  unto  the  end  of  it 
again,  and  there  is  nothing  hid 
from  the  heat  thereof. 

7  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  an 
undefiled  law,  .  converting  the

is  fure,  and  giveth  wifdom  unt©

right,  and  rejoice  the  heirt :  the

pure,  and  giveth  light  unto  the 
eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  the  Lord  It 
clean,  and  endureth  for  ever  : 
the  judgments  of  the  Lord  are 
true,  and  righteous  altogether, 

10  More  to  be  defired  are  they 
than  gold,  yea,  than  much  fine 
gold  ;  fweeter  alfo  than  honey, 
and  the  honey-comb. 

11  Moreover,  by  them  is  thy

didlt  deliver  them. 

5  They  called  upon  thee,  and 
were  holpen  j  they  put  their  trurt 
in  thee,  and  were  not  confounded. 

6  But  as  for  me,  I  am  a

13  They  gape  upon  me  with

7  I  have  hated  them  that  hold

8  I  wrll  be  glad,  and  rejoice 
jn  thy  mercy  ^  for  thou  hall  con-

known  my  foul  in  adv.^ffities. 

9  Thou  haft  not  fhut  me  up 
into  the  hand  of  the  enemy,  but 
haft  fet  my  feet  in  a  large  room. 

JO  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O 
Lord,  for  I  am  in  trouble,  and 
mine  eye  is  confumed  for  very 
heavinefs  j  jea,  my  foul  and  my

11  For  my  life  is  waxen  old 
with  heavinefs,  and  my  years 
with  mourning. 

12  My  ftrength  faileth  me, 
becaufe  of  mine  iniquity,  and 
my  bones  are  confumed. 

13  I  became  a  reproof  among 
all  mine  enemies,  but  efpecially 
among  my  neighbours  j  and  they 
of  mine  acquaintance  were  afraid 
of  me  J  and  they  that  did  fee  me 
without,  conveyed  themfelves 
from  me. 

14.  I  am  clean  forgotten,  as  a 
dead  man  out  of  mind  j  I  am 
become  like  a  broken  vefTel. 

15  For  I  have  heard  the  blaf- 
phemy  of  the  multitude,  and 
f&ar  is  on  every  fide,  while  they 
confpire  together  againft  jne,  and 
take  their  counfel  to  take  away 
my  life. 

16  But  my  hope  hath  been  in 
thee,  O  Lord  ;  I  have  faid, 
Thou  art  my  God. 

17  My  time  is  in  thy  hand  j

18  Show  thy  fervant  the  light 
of  thy  countenance,  and  lave 
me  for  thy  mercies  fake. 

19  Let  me  not  be  confounded, 
O  Lord,  for  1  have  called  upon 
thee  j  let  the  ungodly  be  put  to 
confufion,  and  be  put  to  filence 
in  the  grave. 

20  Let  the  lying  lips  be  put  to 
filence,  which  cruelly,  difdain- 
fully,  and  defpitefully  fpeak 
againft  the  righteous, 

21  O  how  plentiful  isthygood- 
nefs,  which  thou  haft  laid  up  for 
them  that  fear  thec)  and  that 
thou  haft  prepared  for  them  that 
put  their  truft  in  thee,  even  be- 
fore the  fons  of  men. 

22  Thou  ftialt  hide  them  pri- 
vily by  thine  own  prefence  from 
the  provoking  of  all  men  :  thou 
Ihalt  keep  them  fecretly  in  thy 
tabernacle  from  the  ftrife  of 
tongues. 

23  Thanks  be  to  the  Lord  ;  for 
he  hath  fhowed  me  marvellous 
great  kindnels  in  a  ftrong  city. 

24  And  when  I  made  hafte,  I

6  We  have  finned  with  our 
fathers  j  we  have  done  amlfs, 
and  dealt  wickedly. 

7  Our  Fathers  regarded  not 
thy  wonders  in  Egypt,  neither 
kept  they  thy  great  goodhefs  in 
remembrance  J  but  were  difobe- 
dient  at  the  fea,  even  at  the 
Red  fea. 

8  Neverthelefs,  he  helped 
them  for  his  Name's  fake,  that 
he  might  make  his  pov/er  to  be 
J:nown. 

9  He  rebuked  the  Red  Sea 
alfo,  and  it  ^as  dried  up  5  £b  he 
led  them  through  the  deep,  as

10  And  he  faved  them  from

enerny. 

1 1  As  for  thofe  that  troubled  |

them  left. 

12  Then  believed  they  his 
words,  and  fangpraife  unto  him. 

13  But  within  a  while  they 
forgat  his  works,  and  would  not 
abide  his  counfel. 

14  But  lul^  came  upon  them

rerapted  God  in  the  defert.

16  They  angered  Mofes  alfo

17  So  the  earth  opened,  and 


fwallowcd  up  Dathan,  and  co- 
vered the  congregation  of  Abi- 
ram. 

18  And  the  f.re  was  kindled 
in  their  company  }  the  flame 
burnt  up  the  ungodly. 

19  They  made  a  calf  in  Ho- 
reb,  and  worfhipped  the  jnolten 
image. 

20  Thus  they  turned  their 
glory  into  the  fimilitude  of  a

21  And  they  forgat  God  their 
Saviour  who  had  done  fo  great 
things  in  Egypt  j 

22  Wondrous  works  In  the 
land  of  Ham  ;  aud  fearful  things

23  So  he  faid  he  would  have 
deftroyed  them,  had  not  Mofes

25  But  murmured  in  their

26  Then  lift  he  up  his  hand 
^gainft  them,  to  overthrow  them 
in  the  wildtrncfs; 

27  To  cafl  out  their  feed

with  blood. 

38  Thus  were  they  fl:ained 
with  their  own  v/orks,  and  went 
a  whoring  with  their  own  inven-

39  Therefore  vv^s  the  wrath

for  the  word  of  thy  righteoufnefs. 

4  O  de.ii  with  thy  fervant  ac-

and  teach  roe  thy  ftatut^s. 

5  I  am  thy  fervant ;  O  grant

know  thy  teitimcnies. 

6  It  is  time  for  thee,  Lord,  to 
lay  to  thine  hand  j  for  they  have 
deftroyed  thy  law. 

7  F.or  I  love  thy  command-

ftones. 

S  Therefore  hold  I  ftiaight  all 
thy  commandments ;  and  all 
falfe  ways  I  utterly  abhor. 

THyteftimonies  are  wonder- 
ful ;  therefore  doth  my 
foul  kf^ep  them. 

2  When  thy  word  gocth  forth, 
Itgivcth  light  and  underltanding 
unto  the  fimple. 

1  I  opened  my  mouth,  and 
drew  in  my  breath  5  for  my  de- 
light was  in  thy  commandments. 

4  O  iDok  thou  upon  me,  and 
be  merciful  unto  me  j  as  thou

righteous  and  true. 

3  My  zeal  hath  even  con-

OFraife  the  Lord,  for  it  is  a 
good  think:  to  fing  praifes 
unto  our  God  ;  yea,  a  joyful 
and  pleafant  thing  it  is  to  be 
di^nlcfui. 

The  Lord  dotli  build  up  Jeru- 
ialem,  and  gather  together  the 
outcafts  of  Ifrael, 

Me  healcth  thofe  that  are  bro- 
ken in  heart,  and  giveth  mx^di- 
cinc  to  heal  their  ficknefs. 

He  tellerh  the  number  «f  the 
ftars,  and  callech  them  all  by 
their  names. 

Great  is  our  Lord,  and  great 
k  his  power  ;  yea,  and  his  wil- 
^om  is  infinite. 
'  The  Lord  fetteth  up  the  meek, 
and  bring^h  the  ungodly  down 
to  the  ground. 

O  Aug  unto  the  Lord  with 
thankfgivingj  fmg  praifes  upon 
the  harp  unto  our  God  ; 

Who  covereth  the  heaven  with 
clouds,  and  prepareth  rain  for 
the  earthy  and  maiceth  thegrafs 
to  grow  upon  the  mountains, 
;ind  the  herb  for  the  ufe  of  men  j 

Who  giveth  fodder  unto  the 
cattle,  and  fecJeth  the  young  ra- 
vens that  call  upon  him. 

The  Lord]s  delight  is  in  thofe 
who  fear  him,  and  puc  their 
trail  in  his  mercy. 

Praifcthe  Lord,  O  Jerufelem  5 
praife  thy  God,  O  Sion. 

For  he  hath  made  fail  the  bars 
of  thy  gates,  and  hath  bleifed 
thy  children  within  thee. 

He  makech  peace  in  thy  bor- 
ders, and  lilleth  thee  with  tke 
fiouf  of  wheat. 

N  4 


He  fendcth  forth  his  com- 
mandment upon  earth,  and  hil 
word  runneth  very  fwiftly. 

He  giveth  fnow  like  wool, 
and  fcattcreth  the  hoar-froil  like 
allies. 

He  cafteth  forth  his  ice  like 
morfeis  j  who  is  able  to  abide  his 
froft  ? 

He  fcndeth  out  his  word,  and 
melteth  them  }  he  blowcth  with 
his  wind,  and  the  waters  fiow.  J 

He  iTiowcth  his  word  unto  Ja- 
cob,  his  ftatutcs  and  ordinancee 
unto  Jfrael. 

He  hath  not  dealt  fo  with  any 
nation  j  neither  have  the  heathen 
knowledge  of  his  laws.
